There was an uproar in the articles the next day. I briefly skimmed the parts where they mentioned who I was and my parents before deciding not to stalk any of the accounts.
It wasn't worth it.
But my phone rang before my alarm could even sound. I stayed up a little late on call with Jace. We didn't talk about anything in particular. It was like a regular 'us' moment, teasing each other.
I can't even remember how we ended the call and fell asleep. In my mind, I was expecting to be awake until the wee hours of the morning. But I think he purposely called to make sure I get some decent sleep.
The caller id was a blur. I had to squint only to find that Rory was calling me. I had to ignore his calls. Bruce tried to ring me once, but after not picking up the first time, he didn't try again.
Rory was determined, but I couldn't make myself answer the incessant ringing.
